Latin Course

Post by Pamela »

Is there any chance that Duolingo will produce further Latin learning materials? From what I can see on line, there are large numbers of people interested in learning Latin or returning to their school days to refresh Latin learned many years ago.

At the moment they're having their focus on 8+1 languages what they call their main languages.

These courses are getting extended or restructured for CEFR B2.
The top Duolingo courses (language pairs) have many ACTIVE learners, to rectify this amount of work they put in (by using the AI generators and global language model templates for other main courses).

Minor languages are currently not on their To-do list.
But with so many Romance language pairs available on Duolingo it kinda would make sense.
The only question is if they would invest significant money and resources into it. Will enough people pick it up?

As far as I see they're neither developing the Esperanto course(s) forward and have even deprecated the ones which are not English (from other Romance languages).

As you know, the volunteer contributor program has ended.

Thanks for the information. I am also taking their French course, and find the Latin helpful with that.

Yes, when I was relearning French in 2019 I also opened the tiny Latin course. I particularly remember the drunken parrot: psittacus ubriacus

Psittacus iratus ebrius est. Unfortunately, the Latin course hasn't had any new content in years. But honestly, what they really should do is redo the whole thing from scratch. The version we have now uses recordings that sound like they were made by amateurs in their living room. Sometimes you can even hear the famous parrot squawking away in the background. It's wild.
